I grew up watching dubs. Cantonese dubs, but dubs nonetheless. I don't mind them. Actually I kinda like them. I love Japanese originals, of course, but I like my Cantonese dubs too, even though they use the same 5 voice actors for all the anime they had on TV XDDDDD And obviously they butchered the original a bit because manners of speech can't be translated exactly. But I like them. Thinking about it makes me a bit nostalgic.

I bet some of the people are complaining about it for fun, but I laugh at those moaning about badness of dubs and actually feel the need to have a discussion on the badness. I laugh for the obvious reasons (you don't have to watch if you don't want to; you've got ones with subs; at least dubs make it available to more people who may eventually discover more about anime, etc etc). These people are so amusing. Didn't a lot of them discover Gundam Wing (and anime) when they first showed it on American TV or something? I'm pretty sure dubbed Pokemon and Digimon brought some people into anime too.

These people are just too funny XDDDD

genuine fans only watch the original

That's like saying real fans will always pay for things instead of download... oops, my bad, I shouldn't mention that :3

Hong Kong's Yu Yu Hakusho dub was the best dub I've ever watched. I know the original had Megumi Ogata and everything, but I can seriously say the dub was faaaar better than the original.

These... purist? Fundamentalist? Zealots? ....whatever the word is for them, they need something better to do than sitting in front of a computer and whinging about something they don't need to watch.
